Mike Pence aborted his Presidential campaign.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

He should have been forced to carry it to term.

Yah, here's what'd going to happen, provided both candidates are in sufficient health to campaign. All the people who will vote for Biden no matter what will vote for Biden. All the people who will vote for Trump no matter what will vote for Trump. The latter group is bigger than the former group. Then most of the people who wish they could vote for someone else will vote for Biden, and Biden will win.
We absolutely can't be complacent or fail to get out the vote, but for my money, that's how it will play out.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
